Hydrogen

About this programme

The area of ​​hydrogen production and usage has emerged as a key area for the green transition of industry and society. This course reflects the extensive research and the industrial developments in the field. We focus on the techniques for the electrochemical conversion of water and hydrogen in electrolysers and fuel cells, but also cover infrastructure, storage and distribution, the use of hydrogen as an energy carrier in transport and industrial applications. Aspects like safety, socio-economics issues and sustainability are also discussed. Please note that Students not located in Sweden may have problems attending a course at KTH.
